For the love of God, get that man a wide receiver

For all the folks that want Tee Higgins, he has at least 2 drops this game.
Buy he'll catch those Off Target passes from Maye with his size.
 
Maybe, but I give a bit of a pass on this one due to his injury history, but again did not have access to his full medicals.
He got hurt again last night.
BUT a better pick than Polk so yeah, Ladd over Polk but I would have probably taken the center Pitt took, solidified the middle of the line a bit the next decade. Ladd had medical questions and everyone else drafted after at wr has been meh or bad.

Is coming around have to admit I didn't like him because of his body catching. But he's better than Slow Polk.

MYTSP = More yards than Slow Polk.


 
Next draft a stud WR is the # 1 pick.

Focus on OL after.
Is Tetairoa McMillan better than Will Campbell or Kelvin Banks? I am not seeing him (McMillan or any other WR) being at the top of the draft charts early on. Looks like Edge is deep this year. My point is that R1 might be best available this year. It's not like they don't need help across the board. I've been all in on OL since the draft and free agency ended, and I still am, however... if there's a generational edge player or corner wherever they pick, I have no problem taking them. A lot of it is based on where they end up. But to your point, WR doesn't look as deep as last year, and OT might be.

It's such a crapshoot.
 
Even if they're not all world, they will immediately be better than any WR currently on the roster.

We're Lucky Archie Manning wasn't Drake's Dad: because he wouldn't have made him come here.

T-Mac is better unless you move Campbell to guard and then Campbell is a better prospect. But a guard vs WR I take T-mac.

They can get a Big Time WR and Proven LT in FA show them Kaft's $$$$$$$.
 
Why? You don't like 9 WR's on the team?
No but if Maye had a little more time I think the offense could be fine. That final interception was because he was rushed. If he had another beat, he would have led Pop for a game winning TD. The D line was getting gashed. My take remains, focus on the OL and the front seven on defense. Our RB's, TE's and WR's are good enough.
 
Receivers are “good enough” you might be the only guy in America with this point of view. Please explain how our WRs are good enough, when they look porous and abysmal to the rest of us?
A good QB focuses on maybe three receivers during a game. We have Pop and Henry for short and intermediate, Pop and Boutte for longer throws. The QB is not going to get to other reads without a lot of time. Sure, it would be nice to have Chase or Jefferson, but you have to build inside out. Get your wr in 2026.
 
Do you trust this FO to draft a WR? I do not. We better pay for a couple WRs in FA, and fire the entire FO while you are at it.

Whoever thought Polk was an NFL receiver should never be in our building.
 
Next draft a stud WR is the # 1 pick.

Focus on OL after.
What in the world makes you think they will draft well at WR?

I am constantly surprised how this place keeps asking for us to draft WRs and then be surprised when they are all busts given our record over literally decades.

LT should be pick #1 as no good LT
sniffs free agency.

The FAs out there do not overwhelm with their depth and ability.

Here's your left tackle FAs:
2025 NFL Free Agents

Here's your WRs:
2025 NFL Free Agents

I don't know the tackles, but that's a thin class. Better to draft one.

The WRs we all know. Diggs, pass. Higgins, ok, but is he a true #1? Oft injured this year and last. I think he'd be a guy that you'll celebrate getting and then ***** about. The entire league is going to be in on him, so he's going to 100% break the bank. Anyone else over 30, pass. Godwin coming off a big injury. May not be the same. Dionte Johnson and Marquis Brown? Don't we have those guys now? There's no magic pill there.

You'd better develop what you have bud, because there's no savior out there, at least in these two position groups.

Robinson or Stanley we need a Sure Starter there. Then we can Draft one for the other Side.
 
The Lions where they took three WR's high in the first round three years in a row and they all busted.
Roy Williams wasn't a bust.
Charles Rogers and Mike Williams were busts. But Roy Williams wasn't.
 
For all the folks that want Tee Higgins, he has at least 2 drops this game.
Thats all i hear is tee higgins, get tee higgins. For eighteen years when it comes to wide receivers its been sign the beast, or trade for the beast only ,to turn into a bust.

Absolutely
 
Patriots need an LT. It's unlikely that they are going to SIGN one considering that they shied away from signing anyone over 30. That means they'll have to draft one unless they are still planning on Wallace there.

They NEED to put Wallace at a position and let he learn it. Period. Whether it's let or RT.

Lowe looks like he's going to be a serviceable swing guy. As does Demontray.,

I honestly question the talent evaluation skills of the current offensive coaches.
Wolf/Groh have not impressed me, in all honesty with their "abilities".

If the Pat's end up with the 6th pick and this regime cannot select a real stud NFL caliber WR they should fired.

Why do you wish to address WR in round # 2 with the Pats history of WR busts in that round?
 
Next draft a stud WR is the # 1 pick.

Focus on OL after.
we cant keep passing on OLine help and waiting until later. Just think, if Maye has 1 more second in the pocket, he hits Pop Douglas and we wing that game yesterday. Instead, he is pressured and forced to throw early. Oline in FA and early in the draft please
